History

St. Vincent's Hospital (now St. Vincent's Birmingham) was founded in 1898 and is Birmingham's oldest hospital. It was founded by the Daughters of Charity and named after the 17th century Parisian St. Vincent de Paul, who started the Daughters of Charity in 1633. In July 2007, St. Vincent's Hospital merged with Eastern Health System to become St. Vincent's Health System.

gollark: What insane programmer would go "well, I *could* just implement the industry standard for communication between web browsers and clients, which the browser already has native support for, but instead I'm going to implement one *myself* and then tweak it (because it's not like that requires specialized knowledge to do safely)"?
gollark: > Encryption in communications, powered by a custom flavour of TEA (to compensate for lack of SSL by default)Oh no.
